Daniil Kvyat believes his drive-through penalty was "harsh"

Daniil Kvyat has said that he believes the drive-through penalty that he received during the Chinese Grand Prix was unfair and that it was a racing incident. The Toro Rosso driver had a meeting with the Stewards to discuss what happened.

“We spoke, I think we found a good understanding but we disagreed on a few things,” Kvyat said to Crash.net. “It was a very long meeting and I think they kind of understand that they were quite harsh, I could feel it in their post-race conversation.

Although Kvyat disagrees with their decision, he respects the outcome but hopes it won't happen again.

“We want to respect this agreement,” he said. “It’s just that I think the incident was a very basic first-lap sandwich misunderstanding.

Kvyat will hope that he has a cleaner race in Baku and that he can get some points.
